Paul Chorley: Breaking the Speed-Quality Dichotomy in Software Delivery
summary
Demo shows a proof‑of‑concept speech-to-test layer that uses OpenAI to generate end‑to‑end tests for Service Now by parsing natural‑language scenarios into editable test blocks inside Automate Pro’s non‑brittle engine. Live demo creates login, create/assign/resolve incident flows on demand; tests are editable and runnable. Presenter cites industry examples (Tesla ~70–75% automated, 10h build vs 30h for German cars; Amazon ~50–60% automated, 750,000 robots, ~16% cheaper) to argue automation plus LLMs can push speed, quality and cost toward the middle.
